For image acquisition, approximately 15 worms were transferred onto a 35 mm MatTek glass bottom culture dish (MatTek, Ashland, MA, USA) containing a 6 μL drop of 50 mM sodium azide (NaN3). Confocal images were collected using a Leica TCS SP8 microscope. GFP fluorescence was illuminated using a 488 nm argon laser line and red fluorophors with a 561 nm solid state laser with either a 20x 0.6NA Apochromat air objective, or a 40x 1.3NA oil Apochromat CS2 objective. Images were captured using a spectral NyD detector. DIC images were collected using a transmitted light detector and the 488 nm argon laser line. Confocal images were acquired using LAS AF software (Leica Microsystems) and visualized, rendered, and analyzed using Volocity Software (Perkin Elmer). For quantification of aggregates, images were captured with the 40x objective, from the vulva to tail region of each animal, and analyzed using the Volocity Software. Approximately 10 worms were imaged for each line and the data represented as a scatter plot. Experiments were repeated three times and representative data shown in the figures. To quantify eggs in utero, 40x DIC images of the uterus were collected. Eggs number was counted manually. Experiments were conducted at least 3 times and data were collected from at least 10 animals per line.

Lifeact- or PODXL-GFP expressing 1196a hiPSC (see cloning in the Constructs and cell lines section) were plated on six-well plates (Nunc) in mTeSR1/2Si medium, and time-lapse images were taken at 37°C using the IncuCyte Zoom live cell imaging (Sartorius). Alternatively, cells were plated on a glass bottom culture dish (MatTek), and were imaged in a live-cell imaging chamber (Tokai HIT) configured for Olympus IX-83 at 37°C.

BM explants were obtained by flushing femurs, cutting into 1 mm pieces, and staining with anti–GPIX-AF488 antibody (10 μg/mL) for 30 minutes. Explants were then placed in a glass-bottom culture dish (MatTek) precoated overnight with fibronectin (20 μg/mL; MilliporeSigma) with Tyrode’s buffer (137 mM NaCl; 2 mM KCl; 0.3 mM NaH2PO4; 5.5 mM glucose; 5 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N′-2-ethanesulfonic acid; 12 mM NaHCO3; 2 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4) and maintained at 37°C in a VivaView FL Incubator Microscope (Olympus). Images were acquired every 5 minutes in differential interference contrast and GFP channels for 18 hours to visualize MKs released at the periphery of the explants. Videos were analyzed using ImageJ (NIH).

Cells were seeded on the coverglass or glass-bottom culture dish (MatTek), followed by double transfection with cav-1-mCherry and hnRNPa2b1-EGFP. Localization and trafficking of the fluorescence proteins were analyzed using Leica SP5 Confocal Microscope and Zeiss LSM 710-Live Duo Confocal with 2-Photon Capability, respectively.

Visualizing Retinal Ganglion Cell Stratification

The pipette solution was supplemented with 0.05% sulforhodamine B or Alexa Fluor 568 hydrazide to visualize non-prelabeled cells. Contrast and fluorescent images of the cell were documented with a modified Nikon D5000 DSLR attached to the microscope. The preparation was immediately placed into a glass bottom culture dish (MatTek, Ashland, MA) and transferred to the stage of a Nikon C-1 confocal microscope. A z-stack of 160 images was acquired at 0.5 um steps at a resolution of 1024x1024 pixels. Dendritic stratification was measured relative to the proximal (0%) to the distal margins (100%) of the IPL. In general, ON cells were defined as stratifying at <60%, with OFF cells stratifying at >60% of IPL depth. The precise depth of RGC dendritic stratification was confirmed by immunostaining against choline acetyl transferase (goat anti-ChAT, 1:2000; Chemicon).

Cells were induced to sporulate using the resuspension method in Sterlini-Mandelstam (SM) medium (60 (link)). At different time points, 150 µL of cell cultures was harvested and resuspended in 10 µL PBS containing 5 µg mL−1 FM4-64 membrane dye and/or 2 µg mL−1 DAPI to visualize DNA, as needed. Finally, 3 µL of cell suspension was placed on a glass bottom culture dish (MatTek) and covered with 1% agar pad made with SM medium. Cells were viewed using a DeltaVision core microscope system equipped with an environmental chamber at 22 °C. Cell images were captured with a Photometrics cool snap HQ2 camera. Eight planes were acquired every 0.2 µm and the data were submitted to deconvolution using SoftWorx software (61 (link)).

Cell lines were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured following ATCC requirement. Cells were seeded on a glass bottom culture dish (35 mm diameter, poly-D-lysine coated; MatTek Corporation) and grown overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. MCF10A cells were cultured in DMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog 11320) with 5% horse serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog 16050), 20 ng/mL EGF, 0.5 mg/mL hydrocortisone, 100 ng/mL Cholera toxin, 10 μg/mL bovine insulin with penicillin/ streptomycin. T47D and MDA231 cells were cultured in DMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog 11965-092) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (ATCC, catalog 30-2020), 4 mM L-glutamine and 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4.

A schematic of the indirect co‐culture model is shown in Figure 1A. MES‐CM (250,000 cells) were seeded on the glass center of the glass bottom culture dish (MatTek). Macrophages were cultured in a 6‐well plate (40,000 cells/well) and polarized as described above. Conditioned medium from macrophage cultures was then centrifuged (3 min, 10,000 RPM) to remove any debris or cells before mixing in 1:1 ratio with cardiomyocyte differentiation media to culture mES‐CM for up to 72 h.

Collagen Matrices for Cell Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Collagen matrices were formed as described previously (Rommerswinkel et al., 2014 ). In brief, 50 µl of 10× MEM (Gibco) and 27 µl of 7.5% sodium bicarbonate (Thermo Fisher) were added to 375 µl of 3.3 mg/ml rat tail type-I collagen (Advanced BioMatrix). From this mixture, 115 µl was added to 50 µl of DMEM-10% FBS containing 104 cells. The resulting collagen concentration is 1.9 mg/ml. Next, 150 µl of the combined collagen-cell mixture was loaded onto the glass portion of a glass-bottom culture dish (Mattek) and allowed to gel at either 21°C or 37°C for LR or HR matrices, respectively. For 2D migration studies, 50 µl collagen-cell mixture was loaded onto the glass portion of the dish to enable feasible working distance for microscopy. For 21°C gelling, dishes were inverted for the first 10–15 min to avoid cell sedimentation before placing right-side up until complete gelling occurred. Dishes were gently flooded with culture medium after 30 min for 37°C gels and 1 h for 21°C gels, and left to equilibrate for 2–3 h. Cells were imaged every 10 min with a 20× objective under 0.5× magnification on an Olympus VivaView FL microscope. Nuclei were stained with the Vybrant DyeCycle Green nuclear stain at the end of experiments.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
